Dedicated to work that is multi-sensory, multi-disciplinary, often immersive or site specific and always innovative, both companies continue to challenge assumptions of what’s possible. Greatly influenced by Oily Cart’s work for young people with profound and multiple learning disabilities, Trusty Sidekick, via a commission from Lincoln Center Education (LCE), participated in a series of masterclass devising workshops with Tim. As a result of LCE’s ground-breaking commission, TSTC created Up and Away, an original work for audiences on the autism spectrum, which premiered at Lincoln Center in the Fall of 2015. This podcast, moderated by Edie Demas, will explore the companies’ aesthetics, creative process and focus on their audience relationships. The discussion was hosted by Andrew Gaines. 2016-04-24T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/2451/75347 Title: Arts-Based Research Podcast Recording Authors: Salvatore, Joe; Sajnani, Nisha; Sallis, Richard; Demas, Edie; Gaines, Andrew Abstract: Professors Nisha Sajnani, Richard Sallis, and Joe Salvatore speak about opportunities and challenges in arts based research.

Our experiences as mentors and as recipients of mentorship have shaped our respective paths in ways that both mirror the mentoring we have received as well as shift the act of mentoring into new possibilities.

However, while young playwrights programs have emerged across much of the country in the past decade, the field has not been adequately addressed in the literature. This paper addresses the scope and variety of young playwrights programming and compares the praxis of organizations engaged in the work. 2016-11-01T00:00:00Z
